I put Edelbrock shorties on my truck because I've yet to see any real facts showing that the long tubes actually produce better hp or torque. I thought maybe this thread would produce such evidence but alas, not this time.... again. I think lots of us get the long tubes because they are perceived as being sexy, cool. Prove me wrong.
They don't make any noticable power at all. I had a set of JBAs I threw on ebay... there's not even an increase in sound.

Also, I ran shorty headers on my F150 before going to LTs... while the shorty headers helped a BIT the stock manifolds are bricks on that truck. When the LTs went on there was a noticable increase in low speed as well as midrange torque.

Do what you want but when EVERYONE tells you NOT to do a mod, that's a pretty good sign that it isn't worth a damn...
